Keeping the inside of a Stainless Steel Kettle clean is essential for maintaining water quality, preventing mineral buildup, and extending the kettle’s lifespan. Over time, kettles can accumulate limescale, mineral deposits, and residues from repeated use, especially in areas with hard water.
Experts recommend several simple and effective cleaning methods. Vinegar or citric acid solutions are popular for removing limescale. Fill the kettle halfway with equal parts water and white vinegar (or 1–2 tablespoons of citric acid), bring it to a boil, then let it sit for 15–30 minutes. Afterward, discard the solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water. For stubborn deposits, gently scrub the interior with a soft brush or non-abrasive sponge.
Baking soda is another safe option for deodorizing and removing residue. Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with water, boil briefly, let it cool, then rinse well. Regular maintenance—such as emptying the kettle after each use and drying it—helps prevent buildup and preserves the stainless steel’s shine.
Market analysts observe that as home tea and coffee brewing continue to grow, demand for easy-to-clean, low-maintenance kettles is increasing. Manufacturers are also offering kettles with removable filters or polished interiors to simplify cleaning and ensure safe, fresh-tasting water with every use.
